Our expertise stretches to automotive repair software programs, in-car infotainment devices, a range of other applications and technical methodologies that include head unit software, road help, multimedia and car-to-device inter-connectivity. We cooperate with leading technology providers such as ZigBee, Bluetooth, MOST, WiFi as well as VoIP, CAN and OTA applications. Additionally, we cooperate with FreeScale, ARM, Intel, and Atmel to develop FPGA-based platforms to reduce costs and enhance performance.

Testing and Validation

Developing a device is not sufficient; automotive software needs to be tested and validated for performance, reliability and ergonomic fitness before it is released for sale. We employ an independent group of quality experts to thoroughly test, validate and verify our products through their entire production lifecycle before we make them available to consumers.
